Is it a joke or are they serious?

[hawk-i]

I've recently seen powder listed on the EE for 200 dollars a pound.

Are these adds serious or are they just trying to phuck with a guys mind? LOL

How desperate would someone have to be to pay that?

Greed and FOMO are a powerful combination. To each there own.

If the price quoted is delivery included, the seller isn't making much.

Nope, says shipping on buyers expense.

Some people are just greedy princes. I can appreciate that prices are up a bit,
but some of these sellers are a bit off, mentally, IMHO. Dave.

Fishing for suckers.

A few weeks ago I bought powder from Higginson while they still had some. It was in the $55-$60 a pound....I love honesty. Greed is NOT good.

It’s happening with the vendors as well.
$1750 for shadow2 ? Have really jumped $500 in a year?

 

[hifiwasabi]

Look on #######; 8lb jugs for up to $1000!?!

 

[caramel]

Think i will put my unopened 8 pounds jug in the safe. Lol

Best advice for buying components and ammunition has always been to buy it cheap and stack it deep. There may not be much "cheap" in the future but there certainbly will be "cheaper" at one point.

Guys that buy a pound of powder a year are shocked when they go to buy more and the price has doubled, but really a jump from $45 to $90 isn't that big a deal if you don't shoot much. It's a big deal if you go through 50 or 100 lbs of powder a year though! I try my best to stockpile but I screw up with some powders just like everyone else!

I sure miss the days of Trump when there was a surplus of ammo and guns.

I feel disgusted by these pricks posting brick of primers for $300 and a pound of powder for $200. I’m sure the couple hundred they are going to gouge out of someone will payoff their mortgage or car(add sarcasm).

 

[kamlooky]

Two 8 pound jugs in the ee …… $2000.00
Good grief Chawlee Brown.

 

[StoneHorse]

$1000 for 8 pound jug. $200 for a pound. Some dishonest seller somewhere has thought about filling a jug with 8 pounds of sawdust.

I feel bad for the sellers really. Would you trade your hobby for $$? They could be shooting their powder, but would probably rather do TikTok’s or other life sucking activities.
It’s not like we NEED this stuff. It’s supposed to be fun. It’s not fun to overpay. It is however rewarding/fun to source the components (usually at a fair price) and prep your equipment. Things will improve eventually. It’s trickling in now. If you set up stock warnings, it’ll happen.

These are the people who i will remember if they are ever in a bind, will get no help from me.

 

[Redblack]

Did they sell it or shamed into removing the ad? It’s gone from the EE.

User removed the ad. Was also added to my ignore list.

 

[tigrr]

They were just mimicking the price it sold for at some auction not long ago. To an obviously very wealthy person. Also fishing for a sucker.

Or, to a shill account whereby the transaction didn't actually occur.
